Biosecurity

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: why, then, has industry asked the state government for an overarching biosecurity strategy?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:34): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. She may not be aware that there is now a national biosecurity strategy, which will guide the development of state and territory-based biosecurity strategies. If she just doesn't bother to find out what is happening on a national level, she is the only one who can answer to that.
